Welcome from the Residency Program Director

Thank you for your interest in the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Program.  I am proud to be part of the multicultural, community-focused, innovative, encouraging environment found at our residency program.

Our goal is to provide the broad-based medical training that is essential for family physicians to develop their skills and become lifelong learners.  We feel strongly that having qualified primary care doctors committed to the well being of patients, their families and the community at large is essential in today’s ever-changing world of medicine.  It is these family physicians that serve as each community’s link to accessible medical care, continuity of care and medical advocacy.

Here, in the Family Medicine Residency Program, we encourage our residents to take on leadership roles in the hospital, the university and the community.  We promote open communication and feedback at all levels and we value learning that promotes mutual respect, flexibility, compassion and developing the necessary clinical skills to thrive in any medical setting.

In a geographic location that combines one of the nation’s top medical and research universities with a culturally diverse community that presents a multitude of social and recreational opportunities, the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Program offers limitless opportunities for personal and professional development.
